  rather than seek to be served

  will come or exactly what He will do.
• His mercies are new every morning. We can
  anticipate His delightful surprises.
• God configures a perfect strategy every time.
• We cant format or program God.
• God is willing to be invited but only willing to
  come on His own terms at His own time.

Servant leaders must count the cost and point to
a kingdom not their own.

  determined, committed, persevering.

  influence w/ people, but w/ God.

  shareholders in Gods kingdom.

  willing to stand in the gap in hiddenness.

We, ourselves, are the biggest obstacles to the
move of God.

• II Chron. 714 Isa. 627
• We cannot organize our way to success in Gods
  kingdom. Reliance on programs or planning hinders
  the move of God. We must ask God to give us
  direction and resist being pressured by the
  world.

  GOD.
• Simplicity keeps dependency on God draws us
  into greater intimacy.

Gods methods calling cut across the grain.

  supernatural.
• Lowered expectations hinder Gods move.
• Misplaced motives hinder Gods move.
• Its about the Kingdom of the King of
  kingsrelational intimacy with God.
• Do we want a handyman or a lover?

• Unresolved corporate sin?
• Past iniquities that can be dealt with only
  through repentance?
• Identify with godly choices covenants that
  preceded us also.

The root of disunity is PRIDE.

• True unity goes beyond programs and events. It is
  the byproduct of humility.
• Ask for a fresh revelation of our hearts and of
  the Bodyonly together can we obtain the results
  we want.
• As we give ourselves away to one another and to
  Him, we find that the true doctrine is here
  together in all of us!

18
People of God are very distracted, very busy
pursuing the world.

• Revival is born out of passion for God.
• We need to remove distractions of culture, lay
  aside busyness and apathy.
• Be awake, ready, watching for His coming.
• Do I want a comfortable Christian life or do I
  want Gods presence?

Dont settle for anything less than divine
visitation transformation!

  get so excited when the first rains begin to pour
  that you quit pressing into God for the full
  measure of His grace.

  nation being touched by His presence in our
  midst.
